A Day in the Life of a Commercial Beekeeper, Part I: Splits

Ready to take your beekeeping skills to the next level? Long Beach Beekeepers is excited to announce a new EXPERIENCE curated for mid-level beekeepers.

Come join us for a day full of commercial beekeeping fun. Jeremy Jensen, owner of Bill's Bees, invites us to join him in the field making splits for the 2023 season. We will identify queens, split colonies, and add caged queens. See if you have what it takes to go from your backyard apiary to the fast-paced environment of a commercial apiary. 

Location: Little Tujunga Canyon. Carpool options will be offered. Lunch included.

Note: This event is limited to beekeepers with two or more years of experience. It is NOT an entry-level event. 

Registration CLOSES March 20. Open to CLUB MEMBERS.

ITEMS TO BRING: Beekeeping suit/jacket and gloves (required), smoker, hive tool, and water.
